Hey Shawn:
FYI - the DRL bulbs are a 5w "168" wedge style bulbs. Very standard, very inexpensive, and sold at just about every autoparts store.
The bulb holders for the 93-98 DRL's are located just below, and slightly to the left of each of the high beam bulbs. They are in their own plastic socket just like the low beams and high beams, and you turn to release the plastic holder from the socket. Because the 5w bulb is so tiny, they do not stick out very far.
First, try get to the DRL on the driver side which is easiest. I find it helpful to remove the grill (just 4 screws) so you can get a better look and reach your hand in this way. Find the high beam bulb and look below and slightly to the left. You'll find it, and this ones a snap to change.
However, changing the DRL (or the high beam) bulb on the passenger side is a pain unless you have small hands, as the hoses for the a/c compressor are in the way. I find it easiest to drop my arm down inbetween the hoses to get at either of these bulbs. Definately get the hang of it on the driver side first so you have an idea where you are reaching ... and having the grill off can make it a little easier (you can watch where your hand is headed).
Hope this helps -
